Charles G. Finney said to dying Chris
tian: "Give my love to ST. Paul when you
meet him. When you and meet him,
as we will, / shall ask him to introduce
me to those people who got him out of the
Damascene peril.
We go into long sermons to prove that
We will be able to recognize people in
Heaven, when there is one reason we fail
TO present, and that is better than all.
God will introduce US. We shall have
them all pointed out. You would not be
guilty of the impoliteness of having friends
in your parlor not introduced, and celestial
politeness will demand that we be made
acquainted with all the heavenly household.
What rehearsal Of old times and recital Of
stirring reminiscences II others fail to
give introduction, God will take us through,
and before our first twenty four hours in
Heaven-if it were calculated by earthly
timepieces-haye passed, we shall meet
and talk with more Heavenly celebrities
than in our entire mortal state we met
with earthly celebrities. Many who made
great noise of usefulness will sit on the
last seat by the front door Of the Heavenly
Temple, while right up within arms reach
of the Heavenly throne will be many who,
though they could not preach themselves
or do great exploits for God, nevertheless
held the rope.
Come, let US go right up and accost
those on this circle of Heavenly thrones.
Surely they must have killed in battle
million men. Surely they must have been
buried with all the cathedrals sounding q
dirge and all the towers of all the cities
telling the national grief. Who art thou,
mighty one of Heaven2 II lived by choice
the unmarried daughter in an humble
home that might take care of my parents
in their old age, and l endured without
complaint all their querulousness and
administered to all their wants for twenty
years."
Let us pass on round the circle of
thrones. Who art thou, mighty one of
Heaven? II was for thirty years Chris
tian invalid, and suffered all the while,
occasionally writing note of sympathy for
those worse off than l, and was general
confident Of all those who had trouble, and
once in while l was strong enough to
make garment for that poor family in the
back lane" Pass on 10 another throne.
Who art thou, mighty one of Heaven? II
was the mother who raised whole family
of children for God, and they are out in the
world Christian merchants, Christian me-
chanics, Christian wives, and l have had
full reward of all my toll" Let us pass on
in the circle of thrones. II had Sabbath
school class, and they were always on my
heart, and they all entered the Kingdom of
God, and am waiting for their arrival"
But who art thou, the mighty one Of
Heaven on this other throne? ain time of
bitter persecution l owned house in Da-
mascus, house on the wall. A man who
preached Christ was bounded from street
to street and hid him from the assassins,
and when found them breaking in my
house and could no longer keep him
safely, advised him to flee for his life,
and basket was let down over the wall
with the msltreated man in it, and was
one who helped hold the rope" And
said: as that all?" And he answered:
"That is ALL" And while l was lost in
amazement I heard strong voice that
sounded as though it might once have been
hoarse from many exposures and tri-
umphant as though it might have belonged
to one of the martyrs, and it said: "Not
many mighty, not many noble are called,
but God hath chosen the weak things of
the world to confound the things which
are mighty, and base things of the world
and things which are despised hath God
chosen, yea, and things which are not to
bring to naught things which are, that no
flesh should glory in His presence" And
looked to see from whence the voice
came, and 10! it was the very one who had
said: Through window in a basket was
/ let down by the wall"
Henceforth think of nothing as insignif-
cant. A little thing may decide your all.
Cunarder put out from England for
New York. 1t was we'll equipped, but in
putting up a stove in the pilot box nail
was driven too near the compass. You
know how that nail would affect the COM
pass. The ships officer, deceived by that
distracted compass, put the ship 200 miles
off her right course, and suddenly the
man on the look out cried: "Land ho!"
and the ship was halted within few yards
Of her demolition on Nantucket shoals. A
six-penny nail came near wrecking q
Cunarder. Small ropes hold mighty des-
tinies-
A minister seated in Boston at his table,
lacking word puts his hand behind his
head and tilts back his chair to think, and
the ceiling falls and crushes the table and
would have crushed him. minister in
Jamaica, at night by the light of an in
sect, called the candle fly, is kept from
stepping over precipice hundred feet.
F. w. Robertson, the celebrated English
clergyman, said that he entered the min
istry from train of circumstances started
by the barking of dog. Had the wind
blown one way on certain day, the Span
ish Inquisition would have been established
in England; but it blew the other way, and
that dropped the accursed institution with
$4,000 tons of shipping to the bottom Of
the sea, or flung the splintered logs on the
rocks.
Nothing unimportant in your life or
mine. Three noughts placed on the right
sidge of the figure one make q thousand,
and six noughts on the right side of the
figure one million, and our nothingness
placed on the right side may be augmenta-
tion illimitable. All the ages of time and
eternity affected by the basket let down
from q Damascus balcony.
